FOR REPOSTING TO THE “A LANGUAGE LEARNERS’ FORUM” (LLORG)
During the period from February 2020 through May 2020, I conducted a complete revision to the twenty-eight (28) lists of resources which I had posted on the LLORG during the previous three-year period. As revising these types of documents directly on the LLORG in the “Edit Mode” is fraught with difficulties, I removed their contents from the LLORG, stored them on my computer, and completed the revisions. During the revision process an event occurred which prevented me from reposting the contents to their original files and, as a contingency measure, I have posted them here on the HTLAL in the anticipation that either the Administrator or the Moderators of the LLORG will copy/paste them to the LLORG. - Speakeasy
1. INTRODUCTION
Norway
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norway - Norway , officially the Kingdom of Norway, is a Nordic country in Northwestern Europe whose territory comprises the western and northernmost portion of the Scandinavian Peninsula; the remote island of Jan Mayen and the archipelago of Svalbard are also part of the Kingdom of Norway. The sub-Antarctic Bouvet Island is a dependent territory and thus not considered part of the kingdom. Norway also lays claim to the Antarctic territories of Queen Maud Land and Peter I Island. Norway has a total area of 385,207 square kilometres and a population of 5,312,300 (August 2018). The country shares a long eastern border with Sweden (1,619 km) Norway is bordered by Finland and Russia to the north-east, and the Skagerrak strait to the south, with Denmark on the other side. – Source: Wikipedia
Languages of Norway
There are https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_Norway - many languages spoken in Norway . Of these, the Norwegian language is the most widely spoken and the main official language of the country. A short list of other languages spoken in Norway would include: Bokmål, Nynorsk, Høgnorsk, Sami languages, Kven, Romani, Rodi, as well as several foreign languages. – Source: Wikipedia

I don't think this is completely correct, I would formulate it like this:
- Norwegian is the official language. It's got two standard forms of written language: BokmĂĄl and Nynorsk.
- Saami enjoys a special status as an indigenous language, and is used as an official language in several municipalities alongside Norwegian
- In addition to Saami there are some minority languages that Norway is committed to preserve: Kven, Romani, Romanes.

Norwegian Language
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwegian_language - Norwegian (norsk) is a North Germanic language spoken mainly in Norway, where it is the official language. Along with Swedish and Danish, Norwegian forms a dialect continuum of more or less mutually intelligible local and regional varieties; some Norwegian and Swedish dialects, in particular, are very close. These Scandinavian languages, together with Faroese and Icelandic as well as some extinct languages, constitute the North Germanic languages. Faroese and Icelandic are not mutually intelligible with Norwegian in their spoken form because continental Scandinavian has diverged from them. While the two Germanic languages with the greatest numbers of speakers, English and German, have close similarities with Norwegian, neither is mutually intelligible with it. Norwegian is a descendant of Old Norse, the common language of the Germanic peoples living in Scandinavia during the Viking Era.
Today there are two official forms of written Norwegian, Bokmål (literally "book tongue") and Nynorsk ("new Norwegian"), each with its own variants. Bokmål developed from the Dano-Norwegian koiné language that evolved under the union of Denmark-Norway in the 16th and 17th centuries, while Nynorsk was developed based upon a collective of spoken Norwegian dialects. Norwegian is one of the two official languages in Norway. The other is Sami, spoken by some members of the Sami people, mostly in the Northern part of Norway. Norwegian and Sami are not mutually intelligible, as Sami belongs to the Finno-Ugric group of languages. Sami is spoken by less than one percent of people in Norway.
Norwegian is one of the working languages of the Nordic Council. Under the Nordic Language Convention, citizens of the Nordic countries who speak Norwegian have the opportunity to use their native language when interacting with official bodies in other Nordic countries without being liable to any interpretation or translation costs. – Source: Wikipedia

https://www.publishinghistory.com/linguaphone.html - Linguaphone Norsk Kurs (1940s – 1960s)
Out-of-print. From the information available on the internet, this course likely appeared in the early 1950’s. The texts followed Linguaphone’s standardized model for the period. Materials comprised a Course book, a Handbook and, in the 1960’s, recordings on 4 audio cassettes. Used physical copies, as well as digitized copies, can be found at low prices on the internet. In addition, the publisher has made an open offer to sell (digitized versions) their vintage courses dating as far back as the 1950’s.

Reprinted circa 1970 by Spoken Language Services. File are hosted on the Indiana University’s CeLT Recorded Materials Archive website (access is restricted to faculty, staff, registered students, and I believe, alumni).

| Apologies if already mentioned above and I missed it; but I've been playing a little with Norwegian during the lockdown and came across what has to be the best free pronunciation resource I've ever seen (apart from access to a very patient native speaker lol). Only thing I've ever seen that even comes close is FSI German. https://calst.hf.ntnu.no/Home/lessons - https://calst.hf.ntnu.no/Home/lessons Particularly useful as (spoiler alert) pronunciation seems to be the only difficult thing about this language so far. Certainly the grammar and vocabulary seem so far to be probably the easiest of any language I've seen so far (although the possessives are cool); but the pronunciation is fiendish. |
